- Quotes
[first lines]
Bart Maverick: [narrating] A big noisy boom-town is no place for a man who, like myself, enjoys a more peaceful and less complicated surrounding. But, when a man suddenly finds himself in alarming need of immediate opportunity, then the bigger the boom-town the better. And Virginia City was the biggest boomer of them all.
Featured review
Blarney spouting rogue
It's Virginia City that Bart Maverick hits, center of the Comstock Lode and home
to a lot of rich gentleman who like to gamble. One of those is David Frankham
a blarney spouting rogue who ran out on a $4000.00 IOU to Jack Kelly. Of
course Kelly wants his money, but he's also intrigued with what he sees as an
obvious con game that Frankham is pushing in regard to Comstock millionaire
Arch Johnson with Roxanne Berard whom he's passing off as a countess.
The object is to get Berard hitched to Johnson. But Johnson also has a pair of kids Jimmy Baird and Roberta Shore who object to their stepmother to be.
Bart's problem is one of priorities. He hates seeing Frankham and Berard pulling what they're pulling, but he wants what's owed him first. Should he keep quiet or speak out?
Best scenes in the story is Bart being held prisoner by a pair of rustics played by veteran character actors Tom Fadden and Raymond Hatton. Frankham told these two yokels a tall tale to get their cooperation. Jack Kelly tells them an even taller tale to get them to set him free. Has to be seen.
I'd watch the episode for that alone.
